LAGOS—Operatives of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, at Akanu Ibiam International Airport, AIIA, Enugu, have arrested a Lagos pastor over drug trafficking.
The suspect, Daniel Lanre Akintola, 43, was caught with 1.978kg of heroin concealed in the false bottom of his luggage.
This is coming just a few weeks after a Lagos-based pastor was arrested for smuggling narcotics to South Africa at the Lagos Airport.
Vanguard gathered that another suspect, Onwueg-busi Tochukwu Victor, 48, was also arrested with 51.5kg of ephedrine found inside his luggage.
NDLEA commander at the Enugu Airport, Mr. Nsikak-Abasi Udoh, disclosed that the 43-year-old pastor wanted to abandon his luggage at the arrival hall for fear of arrest.
He said: “Mr. Daniel Lanre Akintola unlawfully possessed 1.978kg of heroin, while returning from Entebbe, a major town in Central Uganda.
“He wanted to abandon the luggage, but we detected his intention. The drug was carefully concealed in a false bottom of his luggage.
“The second suspect is a businessman who had parcels of ephedrine weighing 51.5kg, which he wanted to smuggle to Ma-puto, Mozambique.
They are being investigated.”
Akintola, who claimed ownership of the bag containing heroin, said he was returning from a pastor’s conference.
He said: “I am a pastor with one of the pentecostal churches, at Ipaja, Lagos. I attended a minister’s conference in Uganda.
“This bag, where heroin was found, is my bag but I am a pastor and not a drug trafficker.”
The suspect, who hails from Oyo State but lives in Lagos, could not produce evidence that he actually attended a minister’s conference in Uganda.
Besides, he also did not give any reason for leaving Entebbe, Uganda, en-route Addis Ababa, to Enugu.

Bro what is the distance from Enugu to Nsukka, i mean how many hours journey by road (or flight) lol.

approximately one hour if your car was fast enough but 1hr 30mins, if your car was quite slow. As for the flight, there is no airport or aerodrome at Nsukka presently but in no distance time we would have one in this zone... LOL!

I like the fact they are covering the drainages. I was scared initially because they are too wide to be left open.

Truth be told the abia state and ebonyi state secretariat built by T A orji and martin elechi are much better looking and has bigger capacity than this overhype. Enugu secretariat that chime is and will not complete by may 29 2015.

don't make me laugh pls, are you talking about the Secretariat in Enugu abakaliki road close to Peugeot office or a new one? pls I graduated from Ebonyi state uni and I know the nook and cranny of the city so choose another pattern of lies.

LOL at the bolded.Many airports in northern Nigeria are only used by the private jets of their state governor to fly to Abuja. Imagine the colossal waste of billions which could have been used to better peoples lives sunk into a such a useless which project nobody uses?

I just love how people think building airports in every town is a type of development.
Without asking themselves which airlines would go there, which people will book the air tickets. Just Nigerians and their mentality.

there can still have aerodrome for private jets and other commercial airline not necessarily an airport. Many international scholars that visit UNN often, won't experience the stress and pang of our bumpy roads and would made the journey smooth and faster. You can't compare the standard of living or per capita income of those in the north to the east. If we have such facility here, I know even the market women would afford the fare to shuttle between Enugu and Nsukka. Wow! Let me stop pulling our legs biko... I only replied the chap in a sarcastic way, I know building such project would gulp fortune and might even end up a grandiose or white elephant project. Thanks bro, still learning from you all!

We don't have trees in Enugu, aside GRA and government house area. Trees should be lined up along streets to provide shades for people during intense sunshine. What would it cost to plant trees anyway?
